Official, confirmed. Spanish defender Marc Cucurella joins Chelsea on permanent deal from Brighton, this according to Football Journalist Fabrizio Romano
Chelsea pay £55m fixed fee plus £7m add-ons. And it is a Record transfer fee for a left back in Europe.
Meanwhile Cucurella signs until June 2028, six year deal, the London club announced Friday.
The 24-year-old should now be available for Chelsea’s Premier League opener away to Everton on Saturday.
"I’m really happy; it’s a big opportunity for me to join one of the best clubs in the world and I’m going to work hard to be happy here and help the team," Cucurella told Chelsea’s website.
Cucurella’s move could pace the way for young Chelsea centre-back Levi Colwill to head in the opposite direction, on loan, to Brighton.
The Spain wing-back has now become Chelsea’s latest pre-season signing with Kalidou Koulibaly, Raheem Sterling, and Carney Chukwuemeka all having arrived at Stamford Bridge.
